A teen tik addict died after being shot in the head - then his organs saved four other lives | Business Insider

After his mother gave permission for donation of the organs, surgeons raced from Cape Town to the Garden Route to remove them.

The teenager’s organs were the first to be harvested at Knysna Provincial Hospital, and the doctors involved said the case showed the potential of increasing SA’s pitiful transplant rate by bringing smaller hospitals into the donor net. The heart went to a private-sector patient in Cape Town because a state recipient with the right blood group turned out to be incompatible. The liver went to a patient on the Johannesburg waiting list because a Red Cross Children’s Hospital recipient in the Eastern Cape was uncontactable. The kidneys went to a state patient in George and a private recipient in Cape Town.

Their campaign produced a total of four potential donors over 18 months, but three of them did not proceed: SA has one of the world's lowest organ donor rates - just 1.4 per million people - leaving thousands of patients languishing on waiting lists, a In the new paper, doctors blame low referral rates by hospital doctors and low consent rates."These factors are majorly impacted by a lack of awareness of who can be a donor and unfamiliarity with best practice … by treating clinicians.

And a Tik addict is that safe ?

Wanna bet no Africans ever donate their bodies to medical organ donation !
